Right in line with a certain movie quote that ends with, "I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Oh I keep this one memorized.

[Mr. Madison,] What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I've successfully used this twice in DnD and once in real life.
